Letters Patent No. 61,679, dated January 29, 1867,

IMEROYED EGG AND CREAM REATER.

'ro ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONOERN:

Be it known that I, F. OAKLEY, of London, England, have invented a new and improvedAEgg and Cream Beater; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a vertical longitudinal section of my improved egg and cream beater, taken on the line :v g. 2. I

Figure 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same, taken on the line y y, g. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. v

This improvement relates to a device by which eggs and cream can be beaten with the greatest despatch and ease, and which is easily cleaned, and not liable to get ont of order. My invention consists in placing a wire beater into n. metal or porcelain box, the side walls of which box are parallel, while its edges and bottom form a continuous half oval-shaped curve; and my invention also consists in the construction of the wire beaters, which are so,made that .when placed into the above-mentioned box they will'vcry quickly perform the required service, while they may bc easily removed for cleaning and other purposes. This invention is very useful for lmaking jcllies, blanc manges, and other articles of confectionery. The box A, which maybe made of sheet metal, porcelain, or any other suitable material, consists of the parallel sides a and b, and the curvod edge and bottom wall c, the latter forming a continuous curve, as shown in fig. 1. The box rests upon the prolonged sides a and b, as shown.

i l Any Huid may be easily removed from it, as there are no sharpcorners to retain any particles of the contents. vA spout, d, at one end of the curved bottom u, facilitates the pouring out of the contents. The beater B consists of a small disk Ve, to which are attached radially the wire beatersf in such a manner that their ends fall into the outline of a square, m' nearly so, said square concentrating around the shaft-g to which the' disk c is secured. It will be seen that the beaters nre not of equal length, but that the four which fall into the angles of the square aro longest, and those in the centre of cach line shortest. Thus the beater will strike the egg or cream in di'erent places, and will confine most of thc contents at the bottom of the box,bet'\veen two of the long radial arms. The contents are consequently well beaten, and are still prevcnted'fil'lom being spattered about too much. The

' wire arm's f project from the cdgc of the disk at right angles, and are then, at the proper point, bent forward at right angles again; that would be enough for beating eggs only, and such an arm,L is shown in lig. 2. But for 5 beating cream, jelly, 36e., it is prcfeable'to continue the wire and return its end in a curve of any desired shape to the disk again, as shown (snbf) in iig. '2. The disk c is hung upon the crank-shaft g'. The said shaft is i placed through a. tube, z, which is attached to the side a of the box A, and the shaft is then V screwed into the disk e, as shown in fig. 2. The tube h is for the purpose of preventing any of the contents fronrbeing thrown out through any small opening around the shaft g, for which purpose also that part of the shaft which is screwed into the disk is of smaller diameter than that passing through the tube, forming a shoulder which cfectually prevents the escape of the contents at-that place.

Having thus described my'invcntion, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combinationi'of the case A, having the spout d and thc disk e, with triangular beaters B, of unequal length, as and for the purpose specified.

2. The case A, having the tube h bearing the shaft g, to which the beater disk e is secured, and supporting the shaft independent of any other'bearing, in the manner as and for the purpose specified.

The above speciication of my invention signed by me this 2d day of September, 1866.

FREDERICK OAKLEY.
